Short answer: the RCF ART 910-A. It ranks #11 of 39 10-inch pa speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $799; the Yamaha DXR10mkIII ranks #12, rated 3.8/5, and costs $899.99, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
Why pick the RCF ART 910-A: The 10-inch model of RCF’s ART 9 line, built on the same 2,100W bi-amplifier, 1.75” voice coil compression driver and FiRPHASE/Bass Motion Control tuning as the measured RCF ART 912-A and RCF ART 932-A. The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so it can’t be compared with ranked PA speakers.
The case for the Yamaha DXR10mkIII: The third-generation DXR10 raises claimed output to 132dB with refined porting and Yamaha’s newest onboard DSP, while staying light at 32 lbs (14.5 kg) with a familiar 90° x 60° pattern. The catch: The low-quality local data is truncated and cannot produce a preference score, so its tonal advantage over the proven Yamaha DXR10mkII is unconfirmed.
Buy the RCF ART 910-A. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Yamaha DXR10mkIII and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
Worth knowing: the RCF ART 910-A has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 3.6 to 4.2, so treat this verdict as provisional.

Same family: the RCF ART 912-A (larger model, rated 4.1/5), the RCF ART 932-A (larger model, rated 4.2/5), the RCF ART 915-A (larger model, estimated 3.8/5), the RCF ART 935-A (larger model, rated 3.9/5) and the RCF ART 945-A (larger model, rated 4.4/5).
Pros: The 10-inch model of RCF’s ART 9 line, built on the same 2,100W bi-amplifier, 1.75” voice coil compression driver and FiRPHASE/Bass Motion Control tuning as the measured RCF ART 912-A and RCF ART 932-A. RCF rates it at 130dB peak with 100° x 60° coverage and bass to 50Hz, and the fanless amplifier keeps it quiet on stage.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so it can’t be compared with ranked PA speakers. Its 10-inch woofer gives up some low end to the 12-inch and 15-inch ART 9 models, so it suits vocals and smaller rooms or use with a subwoofer.
